Somehow, I could not stop reading.

I didn't think that I would be into this book but here we are! It'll probably take me a while before I could get this feeling off my chest and Maddie out of my head. There's so much relatability with her and rawness. I wish that I could've seen more happy moments with her. My girl needs some sunshine in her life. I am rooting for her.

The side characters are really well-done. I love that there's just enough spotlight in them that they do not really take away anything from Maddie.

As for the writing, it's amazing. Still, there's just a part of me that is wishing Maddie got a few more adventures before the tragedy happened.

Will stay tuned for the author's next books.
